The Taste Room of the Town Hall will host, from the 7th to the 24th of June, the painting and sculpture exhibition ‘Galactic Archaeology’, by Fernando Miñarro Mena, an architect who has exhibited in various cities in the archipelago and is now presenting his first show in Gáldar at Gran Canaria. The opening ceremony will take place this Friday at 19:30 in the Taste Room of the Town Hall.
‘Galactic Archaeology’ presents the new artistic creation by Fernando Miñarro Mena, who, through this suggestive title, invites us to reflect on what we see and how we look at it. In this way, he revives a long philosophical and artistic tradition around the process of observation and the perception of reality that formed the theoretical framework of abstraction over a century ago.
In Fernando Miñarro Mena’s proposal, physical and stellar matter come together in ceramic forms and in his colourful canvases of cosmic geometry. The artist forms his opinion on a solid theoretical and experimental basis, influenced by his father. An architect, a PhD candidate, and a Master’s student in the Digital Fabrication Laboratory, he began his professional career in London, and upon his return to Madrid, he specialised in BIM Technology, completing a REVIT Manager Master’s.
He held his first painting exhibition in 2019, POLINOS, at the art gallery La Casa Articulada in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where he showcased light and subtle compositions for the first time, setting Miñarro on a path of exploration towards abstraction. Since 2019, he has exhibited in Tenerife, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, and El Hierro, and he has been selected as an Emerging Artist at the PHE FESTIVAL.
